IBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRrBUSE.J
CONCORD, n. H. June 9-Wiliam L. Chandler,
ex-Secretary Of the Navy, was tonight nomi-
mated by the Republican caucus for United
States Senator for the short term The caucus
was we'll attended. Only few members were abb
sent The constituents Of number of the men,
bers who wero threatening to bolt brought enough
Lhucnce to bear on them to show that they would
fad it difficult to defend such action; aud first Mr..
SullOway and then others gave way and promised
to attend the caucus. General Narston did not
come, however.
1t was after o'clock when the caucus was called
to order, and much of the time was occupied in de-
batting the question of electing two Senators. The
conference which was held on Tuesday to permit
the members to express themselves
on this subject of eIecting a Senator
for the term beg ginning March 1. 1889, did not
exhaust the discussion tonight. Mr. Sulloway,
and some other opponents of Mr.. Chandler who had
declared their purpose not to come into tho caucus,
concluded to come in, they said, the ground that
the two-term question would be further discussed.
A few days ago Mr. Suaway published letter
declaring himself strongly opposed to electing p
Senator for the full term. Last night he said be
had changed his views and favored eecting for the
full term; but said that he would not take any
part in to-nights caucus. Tonight he made the
first speech, declaring that while he would not be
bound by conference, he wOnld abide
By the decision of caucus In
which he took part. He made an appeal for the
election of two Senators and for hOnoring the vet
crans by the election of General Marston for the
short term.
Mr.. Colby, Of Claremont. opposed the choice of a
Senator :Or the full term He believed that Sena-
tors should, as far possible fresh from the
people. He surprised the caucus by opposing tho
ho
He declared that he would have no gag put upon
his throat and that he would exercise his own
opinion in voting matter of principle. as he
believed the question Of eecting two Senators 70
be. In his opinion it a different matter from
that Of making q choice of a candidate.
President Currier, Of the Senate, thought that oil
matters of opinion should be decided by the caucus.
He came here In favor Of electing two Senator'S.
but he had changed his mind. He thought it
would he a mistake. Speaker Burleigh expressed
the belief that il was the duty Of the Legislature
to elect two Senators. The Democrats would be
sure to do IL under similar circumstances. Senator
Stearns said IT would be a confession OF weakness,
and would give the Democrats issue for the next
campaign. Mr.. Moore of Nashua expressed with
much force the arguments against eecting for the
long term Hequoed the written opinion of General
Marston opposing the eecting of two Senators. and
asked how Mr.. Sulloway could advocate the choice
of two Senators in order 10 elect General Marson.
when that gentleman was principle opposed 70
the choice of a lOng-tern Senator now. He created
great laughter at the expense of Mr. Suoway by
quoting his recent letter against the election of two
Senators.
Mr.. Moore then took up the question of a candi-
date and paid high compliment TO Mr. Chandler
with whom he has frequently differed He said the
unanimty of sentiment in the State in favor of Mr.
Chambers election was Unprecedented in the his
tory Of the State. lie could do better service on
many important questions than any man who could
be sent 20 the Senate from this State such for H.
stance as the extension of our foreign commerce.,
protection.
After other speeches, vote taken and there
were II votes in favor of eecting Renator for the
long term beginning March /. 1859. aud - against
it. The motion was therefore lost. The vote dis
closed the fact that twenty-one Republicans wera
absent or not voting.

Mr.. Sulloway. who had been one of Mr. Chand-
leTs mo It outspoken opponents, then moved 10

cheering this was carrie d without q dis
sentIns voice, This practically settles
